How the AI revolution can accelerate early drug discovery

Drug Target Review

“AI will not replace drug discovery scientists, but drug discovery scientists who use AI will replace those who don’t” – comment during EFMC meeting 2018 Progressing a drug molecule from concept to commercialisation typically takes 10-15 years and has high associated costs of up to $2 billion per launched drug, if all failures are factored in.

We Need Better Benchmarks for Machine Learning in Drug Discovery

Practical Cheminformatics

Most papers describing new methods for machine learning (ML) in drug discovery report some sort of benchmark comparing their algorithm and/or molecular representation with the current state of the art. Most pharmaceutical compounds tend to have solubilities somewhere between 1 and 500 µM. We want to design drugs that are safe.
